Acceptable evidence of full-time employment as a live-in caregiver
Evidence of having worked full-time as a live-in caregiver for a total of 24 months or a total of
3,900 hours in a minimum of 22 months must include:
• a letter from the current employer showing the start date and confirming the applicant’s status
as being currently employed;
• contract(s) with the current and previous employers;
• record of employment (ROE) for all previous employers. Under the Employment Insurance
Regulations, an employer must complete an ROE after every interruption of earnings due to
termination of contract, illness or injury. Applicants should have ROEs for each previous job,
but will not have one for their current job. HRSDC/Service Canada may assist in cases where
a live-in caregiver has difficulty obtaining a ROE from their employer;
• a statement of earnings showing hours worked and deductions made by the employer(s);
• a record of wages and deductions sent to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) by the
employer(s); and
• an “Option C Printout” from CRA from the applicant’s date of entry in the LCP.
If the live-in caregiver is still employed with the same employer and any of the above documents
are not available, they may provide a statutory declaration stating the terms and conditions of their
most recent employment.
Live-in caregivers who select to have their application assessed against the hours-based
calculation of the employment requirement (total of 3,900 hours within a minimum of 22 months)
must also include timesheets signed by their current and previous employer(s) clearly indicating
the date and number of hours worked for all overtime hours hours claimed (maximum of 390
overtime hours allowed) and the Live-in Caregiver – Employer Declaration of Hours Worked (IMM
5634) completed and signed by their current and previous employer(s).
Note: The 24 months or 3,900 hours of required employment does not include any absence from
Canada (including any time worked for the employer outside of Canada), periods of
unemployment, any periods of “live-out” emplyment on a non-LCP work permit, sickness or
maternity leave. Live-in caregivers have the right to be covered under workers’ compensation, but
any such periods of unemployment cannot be counted towards meeting the LCP employment
requirement. However, allowable vacation leave, as outlined in provincial/territorial employment
standards legislation, will be counted towards meeting the LCP employment requirement.
